Managing Sabbath

20 April 2007

Tripp and several of his friends have read Wayne Muller’s book on Sabbath.

I have a great challenge managing Sabbath. Part of my problem is that I work four days a week. When I do the math, I’m at work (either at home or actually at school) between 30 and 42 hours during those Monday to Thursday periods.

Thus, I have three days off a week. Should Friday be my Sabbath? Saturday? Sunday?

I often try to treat Friday as a day to get things done around the house, but I often fail. Managing Sabbath is hard. Sometimes I go overboard and laze about, wasting time. Sometimes I work too much and make myself overtired.
